Description
In this new edition of Gerhard von Rad's classic work on the Moses traditions, the reader is provided with a more polished text, cross-references to von Rad's other works, an updated bibliography, Scripture index, and a new foreword by Walter Brueggemann.
A German Lutheran pastor, University professor and a prolific Old Testament scholar, Gerhard von Rad sought a revival of Old Testament appreciation from a readership diheartened by two world wars. Hanson brings this important work to the present generation in the hopes of provoking the same reaction.

Reviews / Votes
"...Moses is a readable and exciting book that easily appeals to scholars, students, and wider audiences interested in exploring the figure of Moses...[...] I would recommend reading Moses as an enlightening text for Jews and Christians interested to discover the theological interpretation of Moses traditions in German biblical scholarship of the first half of the twentieth century..."Igal German, Theological book review, Vol. 24, No 2, 2012.
"A new and revised version of the original text, this little book by Gerhard von Rad, will and should continue to hold shape academic study about ancient Israel today and as such has a prominence to which few other scholars could aspire."
Benjamin Bury, Reviews in Religion and Theology Vol.20 Issue 3. July 2013
